Dresses and skirts are 'made for tights'

Published: 19th January 2010

Women who are intimidated by wearing a skirt or dress in the current climate must ensure that they fully consider the option of pairing it with tights or leggings as it is the perfect partnership, it is believed.

Caitlin Donnelly of LJWorld.com said that while people may be sick of winter-based advice columns for dressing well, she is happy to simplify the whole process, explicitly asserting that hosiery is great to dress in a cute way despite the cold.

In particular, "voluminous skirts" as well as dresses allow for layering.

Ms Donnelly recommended: "Instead of thin hose, opt for thicker leggings, such as the new and ubiquitous jeggings. For another option, pick up a pair of fleece-lined tights (yes, these are available for non-athletic purposes)."

The cold may also be expertly avoided with the use of knee-high socks, according to a nameless contributor to the Herald in Scotland, as they are the perfect accompaniment to and type of legwear in the wintry weather.
